Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 19915

Received: 11/02/2020

Respondent: Mr Peter Riseborough

Representation Summary:

There is talk of "Greater Norwich of having strong landscape protection policies". Most developments are very intrusive into the local landscape and not enough is done to both protect trees and require substantial new planting.
AWA talks of it's major strategy being to conserve water. This is all well and good as long as new housing drainage is laid to sufficient fall to ensure self cleansing.
The GP's, hospital (N&N) and dentists are not providing an adequate service at the moment through excessive demand, additional housing will merely exacerbate this. This is a failure of the planning system.
